Hand-pinched ceramic cup with frosted navy-black cloud masses over white ground and bright turquoise speck clusters, held in a hand, piece 2100 of A Penny For Your Pottery.

The range closes on a century mark: piece 2100, the twenty-one-dollar cup. Its dimpled, hand-pinched body wears frosted navy-black cloud masses running in a rough spine down the flank, smoke-grey bleeds, frost-white crusted patches — and, unlike anything else in the batch, constellations of bright turquoise specks, vivid electric-blue crumbs gathered at the shoulder and drifting across three faces. A dense black dash-fleck field dry-brushes the upper body on one side. The milky interior carries black spatter over spiral rings, one blue speck cluster and one rust dot at the rim arcs. Seven photos in, the base settles it: “2100” handwritten in black ink.

What does the 2,100th piece cost? Twenty-one dollars even — the penny rule’s arithmetic lands on a round number for the first time in a hundred pieces. Piece 2100 of 10,000, listed at $21.00.
